I have recently discovered something about my husband that makes me fear for our marriage.

He is anti-Daylight Savings Time.

He thinks that the land should just…do away with it. So it will just be the same all the time and nevah evah change.

Like, seriously–WHAT?!

How has this never come up before?? We even did the thing where you have meetings with the Pastor before you get married so he can vote on if you should get married. So our marriage has the stamp of approval from a PROFESSIONAL, is what I’m saying.

And now this.

Needless to say, I am pro Daylight Savings. Granted, I’m not a fan of springing forward, but considering that it’s sort of like visiting the future (one of my life dreams) I deal with it. Also, I know that it means I will eventually get to fall back.

Falling back is the best thing ever!! I mean here I am, always all blah blah, I don’t have enough time, blah blah, I wish there were more hours in the day and then BOOM — Mr. Time says “here you go, an extra hour for you. You are welcome, madam”.

It’s like Christmas in the land of time.

And I will take it, thank you very much.

In other news, remember how I said I had more Muddy Buddy recipes? Well, the other day when I was making the Muddy Buddy Truffles, I was like…why not Muddy Buddy Brownies? Brownies, chocolate, peanut butter and powdered sugar…that is a good thing, right?

So I whipped these babies up real quick and they were delicious. The end.

8×8 pan of brownies, baked and cooled (I used a Ghirardelli mix, which makes a small pan. If you want to use a box/recipe that makes a large pan, just double the topping)

1 stick butter, softened

1/2 cup peanut butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups powdered sugar

2 TBS milk

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

1 stick butter

About a cup of powdered sugar

In the bowl of a mixer, beat 1 stick of butter, peanut butter, and vanilla until combined and smooth. Add powdered sugar and beat on medium high until combined. Add milk and beat on high for about a minute. Spread on pan of brownies and refrigerate for a couple of hours, until frosting is cold and firm.

Place 1 stick of butter and chocolate chips in a large microwave safe bowl. Melt in the microwave, stopping to stir at 20 second intervals. Once melted and smooth, cut brownies into squares and dip the top half of each in the chocolate. Place on a baking sheet and spoon powdered sugar over the top.

and I have to admit I’m sorta with your husband on this. I don’t like Spring forward cause it’s just sorta dumb. I don’t ever need to lose an hour and fall back sucks cause I hate when it’s dark out at 5 pm. I don’t care if it’s light at 7. I’m not up at 7. lol

Yeah, the daylight savings is killing me, especially when I look at the clock at it’s ONLY 7:30!!! not yet a respectable hour to go to bed!
But if I had a tray of these brownies I might stay up longer until my husband went to bed and closet eat them all and tell him the dog got them…
I mean I have never done that or anything…

Wait. . . you like it to be dark out unreasonably early? This daylight savings nonsense has doomed all photography attempts in my apartment until spring, since it’s now dark out when I get home from work. And then i feel like getting in bed instead of cooking anyway, because it’s freaking dark out even though its only like 7 o’clock. It is very grumpy-making.

On the other hand, you gave us brownies with peanut butter and more chocolate on top, so you’re probably the queen of everything, so I won’t argue with ya.

Get OUT! That looks way too good! Love it! I grew up in Hawaii with no daylight savings and then moved to Arizona for college with no daylight savings. I didn’t have to worry about it until I was 21 years old! I like the extra hour, but hate the stress of changing all the clocks. There’s always one that I miss.

I’m not sure where I land on all this time change thing. I’ve never much thought about not having it but it certainly would spare me the week following the change of flipping out every now because I forgot to change one of the clocks and I think I’m running late.

And the Muddy Buddy Brownie works with all times, past, present and future. Splendid!

I HATE daylight savings. In Indiana we didn’t follow until a few years ago, and it was great! Never had to worry about clocks and time changes. Now, we follow, and Now, I have a two year old. Spring forward is kinda great because instead of waking up at 7, it’s now at 8, but the fall back….ugh. By the time we fall back, he’s used to getting up at 7 again, so now it’s 6 am. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. How do you explain to a 2 year old…go back to bed, it’s six am…it just doesn’t happen!

It’s official, you ARE trying to kill us. I know you are all of 31 and perky and stuff and don’t have to worry about cholesterol, but for all of us “seasoned” mothers that think we have to make everything that you throw out there is tough on our veins!! But…Bring it on!!! I will sacrifice my blood for the sake of your baking!!

I have to admit that I’m with your husband on this one. I hate how early it is when it gets dark now. And the kids don’t sleep in as late because it’s light earlier. But I’m with you on these brownies. Yum!

I just love you blog! You always have the most mouth watering treats on here and fun homemade projects! Thanks for sharing you creativity with me. I’ve added you button to my blog so I’ll be sharing you with my followers!

Kristan,
I just made these today and THEY ARE SO GOOD. My husband thinks the PB layer tastes just like the PB in a Reece’s PB cup. But again, I am having issues with the melting of chocolate. I posted on your Devil’s Food Donuts recipe that my chocolate coating never set up, even after days and days (although did not affect the flavor), but this time, my chocolate and butter ended up thick and gritty. I did melt, stir, melt and stir. I still spread the chocolate on the squares, it was just think and not smooth as pictured. Again, DID NOT AFFECT FLAVOR, just appearance. Will be making again and again.
